Fern fronds and young stinging nettle come to mind in some local places that serve local seasonal foods.

True they tried some kind of startup with the Symphonic that failed. The failure of the Symphonic originally put Donna off working on the Giant at Cardiff but she quickly came around. After that thought Donna seemed the more driven of the two.

I guess it is kind of unfair of me to say Gordon "settled" as he was clearly still quite driven (getting involved with Joe's mainframe project, ARPANET/NSFNET, CalNect etc.) but his health issues forced him to prioritise his health and work/life balance.

Without a deep analysis into each character I guess I will leave it that my summation of Donna and Gordon leaves me feeling Donna was the more driven of the two however as Gordon's life was cut short it is impossible to really say. Donna had the opportunity to do so much more whereas Gordon did not both because of his health issues and ultimately his early passing.

And all of this has made me realise just how involved I got with the characters in this show. I am talking about them as if they were real people which is a little strange when I think about it but I think speaks volumes about just how great the show was :)
As someone who is bipolar I will say I know many people including myself who need injections to be able to manage life. The injections may be abused by a percent of the population but there is a much smaller percent(disabled mainly) that need them.
I took it mainly as a joke. There are so many window managers for Linux, most with a small but dedicated user base. The time it takes for any "new" technology to reach every one of them is usually substantial.

On a separate note, as an i3 user I should check out away again. Last time I tried it (multiple years ago), it had a fairly substantial amount of input lag. Kind of turned me off of anything based on wlroots.

I do, however, agree with the spirit of quote; it's just that it started to become really applicable a few generations ago (or, depending on how you think of it, such a mentality was always a major current of colonized America, but it really gained cultural ascendency in the 70s as we ran out of easy ways to extract wealth while plausibly "improving" things).

The law states someone has to 'knowingly try to interfere etc' but the challenge is that you'd have to prove that Trump knew he lost.

If he truly believed he had won, well, then he'd just be trying to fix the election, not rig it, right?

Yes and Active Directory Group Policies are just one of the ways to distribute and enforce policies on Firefox, there's also macOS profiles and policies.json files for all versions. In my old job I used a policies.json file. Annoyingly, there wasn't a way to write path values in a platform-agnostic way (e.g. to specify download file location) so it was necessary to maintain two versions for macOS and Windows.

Since this is a thread about HDDs, can someone recommend a quiet HDD? Or is it a pipe dream and one should stick to SSDs?
I wouldn't know the real reason for sure, but this seems plausible:

1) They got tired of having to modify C code and wait for the deploy cycle to modify the filter

2) Using, for example, the database would be more work than calling a shell script. On top of that, it might actually be beyond the abilities of the programmer involved.

3) The C code executes on an arbitrary machine. Hence the ssh to a specific machine, so that the shell script would only have to be maintained in one place
it's not circular, but more to the point, you suggesting that the stock market can devolve (fail) is like saying "brakes on a car can fail, so brakes are stupid." Brakes are not stupid.
I agree with all you are saying, but I wonder how much this actually comes down to software developers. I suspect (but have absolutely no data!) that for many sites, the pressure to add extra stats, tracking, advertising, monitoring, etc etc, comes from 'above' and it's not the developers' choice to add these mountains of javascript libraries to their sites. Perhaps they should push back, but what leverage do the developers have?
Right now in my part of Bucks County, PA, FiOS' gigabit speed internet is running about normal speed for download and about 3/4 of normal for upload.
I'm in agreement for sure, extra judicial killing of any kind is questionable. I think we should review all of them and hold those responsible for their actions.

However, drone strikes have "collatoral damage" and unintended side effects like this (not saying this makes them good and they should continue) especially when they're deployed in areas openly holding people who are in active conflict against people in their own countries and there is military deployed. Again, this doesn't make it right.

There's a big difference between that and a lone citizen applying for a marriage VISA, in another country entirely, being kidnapped and murdered due to his writing against the regime. And, due to the nature of the relationship between the US and SA it has been nearly covered up.

What manner of breaking changes would these be?

AFAIK (may be wrong, please correct if I am) by default RHEL is not locked to minor release versions (i.e. no subscription-manager release --set 8.x), but to major release versions (i.e. 8), and I have always used RHEL like this and never had serious issues with minor version updates.

In this sense CentOS stream is really just what I was already doing, CentOS stream is also split by major versions AFAIU (there is 8 stream, and will be 9 stream)[1].

> system is designed to give money easily to young people

Who exactly designed the system that way? Banks (aka capitalists) were not very keen on doing this exact thing for the risk reasons, and now the government ended up backing most of the educational debt for some reason (aka socialism).
Maybe. But a more clever approach might be to limit the size of the HSTS cache per second-level-domin per orign. Or to randomly respect the cache. Or to simply make every request to both the TLS and non-TLS port but do so in parallel and discard the non-TLS response if the domain was in the HSTS cache.

I'm not saying any of those approaches is bulletproof, just that maybe they have a more complex strategy in mind to mitigate risk.
AmigaOS. Mostly because of the underlying hardware and ecosystem. Simple things were simple, and complex things were complicated but possible.

Today everything is complex and complicated for little reason.

(Compare e.g. the elegance of Amiga Message and signal ports to named pipes / shared memory / tcp / whatever. Of course it can be emulated - but the fact it’s standard on the Amiga means every program uses it and it makes a huge difference in interoperability. Similarly, IFF was good enough; there weren’t billions of framing formats on the Amiga, because there was an acceptable standard from day 1)
Having executed several "no-downtime" cutovers between systems via DNS updates, I will warn you that a surprising number of clients never re-resolve DNS, so the TTL is effectively "forever" from their point of view.

For the rare case of lift-and-shift-ing for a system upgrade I felt morally okay about eventually pulling the plug on them, but I'd hesitate to design a system that relied on well-behaved DNS clients if I had a reasonable alternative.
I suspect that one problem on Twitter is how wide you "open the door". If you crack it open just a little (i.e. limited follows), you can have a nice, useful, informative stream there, without all the negativity. But if you insist on opening the door fairly wide (i.e. lots more follows), you're effectively inviting the whole world in.

And guess what? "the whole world", taken as a whole, isn't so great.

The Denver Post just lost my business over this. They have one of those things that scrambles all the words for any user with the audacity to not want to see video+audio ads while reading their newspaper.

Royal Dutch Shell has agreed to buy Ubitricity, owner of the largest public charging network for electric vehicles in the UK

I've been driving EVs in the UK for 5 years or so and I've never heard of Ubitricity so is this bullshit, or do Ubitricity own someone lower down like ChargeYourCar or something like that?

edit: Ah here we go, seems like they might be big in London

https://insideevs.com/news/457155/ubitricity-largest-public-...

ubitricity's approach is slightly unusual, compared to the typical charging networks, as it uses a lamppost or bollard, equipped with Type 2 AC charging sockets. Because there is already an electricity connection, the company reduces the installation cost and time.

It's quite interesting also from EV drivers' perspective (especially if they don't have their own parking space), as there are now streets in London where every lamppost has been retrofitted with an ubitricity charging point.

Organizing information and things around in general will be a nightmare without the proper tools. Doing it using paper is hard enough, then count in that most likely paper will suddenly be considered a luxury for not being an easy replenished commodity. Any social structure over a certain size will greatly benefit from computing, even if only for things like keeping secured inventories and accounting. Data is expensive to handle outside the digital realm (think of making an electronic copy vs. making a copy using other media, probably by hand too). Although computing won't be for sure on the base of Maslow's pyramid for individual hierarchy of needs, it will be a great enabler for the social groups that will have managed to reach stability.

I would really like more competition for GPD2 and One Mix[1](another HK company) from traditional laptop makers. But I understand their reasoning for not doing that, I think they're hesitant to compete in small display market where smartphones rule; but that's exactly why I want a pocket computer from reputed brand - to ditch my smartphone.

While we wait for Linux smartphones to get better, a pocketable Linux computer as showcased in OT could fill-in the need gap. Use a data dongle for Internet/Calls on-demand on the move and have full-fledged computer at hand.

I've been telling this for years now, RPi CM4 gives me some hope. Looks like Lenovo-NEC might enter this market at least in Japan and I hope nerds in Japan buy it out and make pocket computers a thing again for rest of the world too.

How does it compare to the demand for these degree holders? On the pie chart, engineering is 6% and social sciences is 8%. Engineering is barely bigger than communications, or than performing arts... and frankly I wonder what %%ge of business degrees are actually useful. The other stat merges all degrees together, but the entire STEM and healthcare is less than a third of all degrees. Add up all the useless degrees together (I, personally, would make it a value judgment too, but for this discussion useless can just mean "not cost effective"), and you can easily explain why so many people have trouble with student loans.
Honestly disconcerting to see mostly negative responses in this thread: awful community, overly complicated, research focused, academic nitwits gone wild, etc. Pretty sure there's some truth here, but would suggest the deeper argument is against semantic web as evolution of the world-wide-web. Agree this isn't likely to happen in my lifetime.

Right up there with, mostly hated, Javascript, I happen to think there are good parts of the semantic web technologies and that the pivot towards industry adoption of the graph data models related to knowledge graphs, ontologies, and SPARQL shows there are benefits outside of academic paper mills.
I don't have a dog in this fight (TerminusDB), but applying some reasonable expectations and accepting the limitations of the semantic web tools has been very successful on many projects. Even more so, innovation and improvements in graph data repositories are making triple-stores and graph-based models compelling for some use cases. Not going back to CSV hell if there are better alternatives.
Issues with Linux graphical toolkits, perhaps? I hear they're reasonably consistent with all screens at the same integer scaling ratio but have issues with other setups. Admittedly, I haven't looked into this myself in years.
The way of things in EU is a bit different than some other areas. The goal is to change the industry slowly. You don't change industry by killing them quickly so these things are first made into law, then there is usually a number of warnings, then the fines starts showing up small and then the gets ramped up if the industry doesn't change.

These dark patterns we keep seeing shows that the sites didn't do their homework and is trying the usual weazel way of getting past on "you clicked accept so now you are stuck.". Consent can only be given knowingly, if you hide it in the fineprint (or behind a "show more" button) it's not valid according to GDPR. To invent things like selling customer data to third party and call it fair usage of private data is not ok either.

The agreement has to be easy to understand and very short. And it has to be presented close to the actual entering of data or the accept button. No hiding, no shenanigans, no trying to fool with colors or design. It's that simple.
Political views aren't a statutory protected class because they're constitutionally protected, in that they're an essential component to having a democratic government.

(What does a democracy with only one permitted political viewpoint look like? Not a democracy.)

If the equal protection clause can justify protected classes applying to private business, then inherently, political view must be protected.

If we were talking about a diner, it wouldn't mean I could stand up and lecture other patrons on politics. It would mean the diner couldn't refuse service based on my politics.

The difference with social media is: the entire purpose of it is to share and distribute the speech of users. Therefore, being denied service, or receiving different treatment, based on the content of that speech becomes discriminatory.

This is before you even begin to consider "public square" aspects of the platforms. Similar to how Company Towns were not allowed to infringe on the speech of employees, even though the company owned the streets and town square.

I feel that the reason that recruiting sucks is because there's a misalignment between the recruiter and the employer.

>>The recruiter want to put butts in seats. That's how they get paid.

>>The employer needs to get more work done. That's how they get paid.

The goal for the recruiter is to find people who want jobs and then put them in seats. Sure, it's great if the person is a perfect fit and ends up building a strong recruiter relationship, but at the end of the day third-party recruiters are mercenaries, not missionaries.

Besides for yelling at employers, I'm not sure how this is different.
Have you ever read The Dispossessed? Inevitably, I think, your anarchist society would end up being a society with a government - just not the same government as we currently have. Maybe the power would be more hidden, or less responsible to the people, but there would still be a government managing it. That's not to say it wouldn't be better in some ways - but people have to coordinate in order to solve large problems, and that's what governments do.

In an ideal version of your system, everything is great. In an ideal version of my system, everything is great. Comparing your ideally functioning system to the Soviet Union is like comparing a perfectly ripe apple to a decaying, moldy orange from 20 years ago. Likewise, the EU is an imperfect example of the thing it is trying to be, but it is still better than the things that preceded it. The pains of Brexit we are seeing now are not "growing pains" or "adjustment pains", IMO - they are the pains of moving from a better way of doing things (which had its own sets of downsides) back to what a worse way of doing things, where "better" and "worse" mean "more efficient at helping people get what they need and do what they want" and "less efficient and helping people with those same things".

The likely reality is that if a system is populated by people incentivized to behave badly, it will suck to exist in for a lot of people, probably most. A good system is one populated mostly by people incentivized to act well. The incentive could come in many forms - cultural expectations, religious teachings, economic incentives, and so on. You could definitely establish an allegedly anarchist society that had the right cultural and societal incentives to be stable - if you could set up those incentives first. Ditto with a communist society. The problem is not what we call the organizations responsible for managing cooperation between people at scale, it's how we train humanity to interact with and consider them.

Therefore, the right system to pick is whichever one we can achieve that is most likely to be an improvement on the one we have given the current set of incentives - and right now, given the scale of the problems facing global society, I think a more globalized, less isolated, more open system is the one to choose. Brexit is a step back, to me, because it moves us more towards systems that will not work for the challenges we face, no matter what we call them or how we culturally couch them, because it disincentivizes people from caring about others at the scale necessary to solve problems common to both.
